In my 24 years of experience in all aspects of the masonry industry, I have consistently delivered projects on time, within or under budget and to the highest industry standards. My diverse experience includes:
Construction Law, Legislation & Government Relations | Safety | Finance | Access to Skilled Craft Workers | Working with Design/Technical Teams & Architects | Multi-Million-Dollar Project Management | Contract Negotiations | Industry Compliance | Investigative Reporting
I have produced strong results in regional and national roles with International Bricklayers & Allied Craft Workers, combined with experience as a mason and foreman with the International Council of Employers. Some highlights:
► Developing national and international network of owners, trustees, financial institutions and government agencies.
► Leading the industry in safety standards, with proven experience organizing efforts for a national rule change with OSHA to improve safety, under both Democratic and Republican administrations.
► Recruiting, training, managing and retaining a highly skilled workforce capable of delivering high quality projects.
► Maintaining the highest standards in ethics and pay benefits, exposing worker abuse to ensure that both foreign and domestic workers are paid to meet area standards, recovering millions in back wages and policing the industry in collaboration with government agencies.
► Successfully navigating obstacles that arise on complex projects and developing and implementing innovative solutions to mitigate and avoid problems.
My experience with cutting edge technology for masonry includes:
► Building Information for Masonry (BIM)
► SAM the Robot, a brick laying robot that is now laying up to 3,000+ units per day
► MULE used as a mechanical assist to reduce workmen’s compensation claims and repetitive stress injuries
► Tableau data visualization software; all Google Teams and Google Docs used for recruiting.More...
